To: Knitting A Conundrum

OOOhhh, beautiful pattern.

I think early scarves were woven. Knitting takes a long time to create fabric that weaving can do in a flash.

I'm going to pass along your scarf pattern to my youngest daughter who is well on her way to becoming a fiber fanatic, bless her heart. She's already asked me if she can have my fiber tools and books when I die. I said, "Of course!" The rest of my kids said, "Good, we don't want that junk!" lol

Off to weave 14 yards of trim for edging on 7 sideless surcoats...

What hand candy do you all have planned for Harriet Miers' hearing?

One advantage of not watching TV is that I will be getting my info from FR, which is one level less intense...but I will either be knitting a sweater (nice and lacy, a pattern someone wanted me to help debug for her, and done on BIG needles (size 13!) instead of my usual fingering yarn and size 1 or 0).

There is a hat pattern I knit. It is done in the round. It has 8 decreases in it. So I use 9 needles to knit it...why do people give me such strange looks when they see me knit one?
